Dozens Flock to 'Blinking' Jesus Statue in New Jersey
"While dozens of people continue to flock to Hoboken to see a statue of Jesus that many believe blinked its right eye, church officials aren't claiming a miracle just yet." From news reports.
What does it say about our modern, (pre-eminent even?) first-world society that simple minded saps and gullible religious kooks really believe God communicates with the world through means such as this? I wonder whether to laugh or cry. The most powerful force in the universe can find no other way to make its presence known except such things as appearing to "blink" or show His face in grilled cheese sandwich?
Rationality and toleration is about the best we can hope for any more in these times, eh? Sheesh.
